Travel time between Delhi and the upcoming Noida International Airport could be reduced to 21 minutes under a proposed high-speed rail connectivity plan, Uttar Pradesh Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta said on Thursday.
Reviewing projects of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) at PICUP Bhawan here, the minister said the detailed project report (DPR) for the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) connecting Delhi with Jewar airport has been approved by the state government and sent to the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
Officials informed the meeting that provisions have also been made in the DPR to integrate the proposed Delhi-Varanasi high-speed rail corridor with the airport terminal through a dedicated station, enabling Delhi connectivity in around 21 minutes in the future, according to a statement.
The minister said the entire Yamuna Expressway region is set to emerge as a major cargo hub after the inauguration of the Jewar airport.
He asked officials to improve their work culture, adopt a corporate-style approach and ensure better maintenance and repair of damaged roads along the expressway.
